Apparatus and method for sharing information through presence service in a communication network
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current presence services in communication networks only provide limited status information input by users and do not offer a seamless service based on the status information of called parties, lacking the ability to acquire detailed status information and conveniently share it.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that automatically extracts and updates presence information, including application and content indication information, to provide detailed status information and enable content sharing through a presence service in a communication network, allowing users to share identified contents based on acquired status information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the presence service provides only user-input status information, then the service is simple to operate, but the information detail and usefulness are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The presence service automatically extracts status information from applications without requiring manual user input. The system self-updates presence information by monitoring application execution states, content playback status, and other device activities, eliminating the need for users to manually enter status data while providing comprehensive detailed information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-extracts and prepares status information from applications in the background before any presence service request occurs. By continuously monitoring application states and pre-processing status data, the system ensures that detailed presence information is readily available when needed, without requiring real-time manual input.
2Speed
If the presence service manually updates status information, then the information accuracy is high, but the updating speed and responsiveness are slow
Solution Approach 1:
The presence service continuously monitors application execution states and automatically updates status information in real-time. The system maintains continuous background processes that track application launches, content playback, and device states, ensuring both rapid updates and accurate reflection of current status without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where application states automatically trigger presence information updates. When applications report their execution status, the presence service receives this feedback and immediately updates the corresponding presence information, ensuring both speed and accuracy through automated state-response loops.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the presence service provides comprehensive status information, then the service versatility is improved, but the information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The presence service segments status information extraction into distinct modules for different applications and information types. Each application type (messaging, media player, browser, etc.) has dedicated extraction logic that monitors specific parameters, dividing the complex task of comprehensive status gathering into manageable, specialized components that reduce overall processing complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus is capable of sharing information through a presence service in a communication network and capable of providing presence information of a Mobile Station (MS). The apparatus extracts at least one of application information and contents indication information from an application in execution. Presence information is generated that includes at least one of the application information and the contents indication information, and transmitting the presence information to a presence server.
